Hinges On The Door Lyrics - Connie Smith

Well I feel just like an acord on an old flat top guitar 

I've been used till I can't stand it anymore 

You've been tended out of here so much to find you someone new 

That you're wearin' out the hinges on the door 

When I met you I'd have turned around and walked the other way 

If I'd known how many heartaches were in store 

Seems like all I do is hang around and watch you come and go 

While you're wearin' out the hinges on the door 

Well I don't know why I take it but I do 

Well I guess it's cause I'm so in love with you 

Each time that you find someone new you turn and walk away 

Then just like the tide you slip right back to shore 

Oh my darling if you love me stick around and let me know 

And stop wearin' out the hinges on the door 

[ steel ] 

Well I don't know why I take it...
